【写法指要】
1）本文记叙了作者儿时的一件小事。事情虽小，却令作者回味无穷，每每忆起总有一种甜美的（pleasant）感受，好像做着香甜的梦（sweet dream）。这样叙述会给读者留下深刻的印象。由此看来，写记叙文不要面面俱到，要从众多素材中撷取一件最有代表性的事例叙述即可。2）作者在文中使用了三种修辞格：（1）拟人（personification）：“the soft masses of waving grass，and the drowsy，balmy air all sent their invitation for me to rest．”（那起伏的嫩软青草，那催人入睡的芬芳的气息都在热烈邀请我停下来休息。）；（2）明喻（simile）：“like a sweet dream”（像做着香甜的梦）；（3）隐喻（metaphor）：“followed my thirst for the toy”（渴望得到那件玩具）。这样，全文读来饶有风趣。
